Adding backlinks is key to help with ranking, but deos anyone know what would be considered "too fast" for Google. For example, 10 links per week, 50 per week, more? I have heard there is a limit in that google considers it spamming if you add links too quickly. Anyone have some experience to share on this?
Considering that many sites have 10's of thousands of IBL's, 10 per week would seem to take a LLOONNGG time to get you there... I do not know of a standard that Google has in this regard (at least not one that they tell people about... ) I have safely added in the hundreds in a week with no ill effects that I know of... Think of it this way..if that wasn't safe to do, one news story or press release could get you banned for no reason. Best; Eric Eric
Additional caveat--if all of the links look alike, you will likely have a problem. That is more of a worry for me than sheer volume... Eric
No one can be sure of exactly how much links need to be added weekly for google to ban you , just vary your anchor text and add your links gradually.
Eric (and ChaChacallis) thanks for your feedback. Agreed it will take ages to vreach "1000s". I have been adding to related directories with variation of text plus articles, so these should not look like automated mass-submissions. Mind you its hard work to do much more than 50 or so per week in these areas.
Since the latest algo change I would imagine the quality of page your links are found on will have an impact as well. If all your backlinks are coming from link farms, then 5 per week is too much. However, if you are receiving links from blogs or other quality sources then 100's would be fine per week. This is pure speculation on my part but seems to make since, especially considering the last algo change.
Well i am not sure about that, as i believe if the links are from revelant and google friendly sites, there is no reason google will consider it spamming. Last week i got about 200+ backlinks and well the SERPS loved it..
I heard that one should add approximately 50 links per week not to seem suspicious to google. And it is true from my experience. Buying them at different auctions But I would not recommend you to do that. Also you can submit to the directories: people submit to 500+ at a time and are not banned by google...
Hi G,,, Sorry for the late reply Well like Ice said...i agree, however, the 50 things, well not sure about myself Well we have some realy reasonable and serious members in Dp who can offer reasonable directory submission services and some wonderful DP members ready to link exchange... Last week, out of those 200 back link, DP member were responsible for atleast 50
I strongly agree, I've found a lot of link exchanges here with the good members of DP. In addition, some very good priced text links are available in the forum, if you keep looking and get in on teh good deals.
